I had a blast getting to know my new friend Henry Mansfield! I recently saw Henry at Barboza, performing with my friend Liv Victorino and Eric Irons for Winter Prom! Henry leads a ten piece ensemble of highly talented musicians; culminating in a show that is full of fun and impressive theatrical songs!

If you like Young The Giant, Panic! At The Disco, Lin-Manuel Miranda; and whimsical ballads about love and setting yourself free then be sure to catch Henry Mansfield at his next show because it will not disappoint! Listen to Henry's new album "Nothing But The Myths We Make" on Spotify now!

We enjoyed talking about the challenges of being a business person in addition to being a creative; Henry's start in music as a Seattle native; what we want for the future of Seattle shows and so much more!

I had a great time chatting with my friend Juliet Daniel who fronts her own pop project called JUL!ET. We will be sharing the stage together on January 14, 2024 at Neumos for a benefit concert for Food Lifeline!

I have great respect for Juliet's work ethic and passion for choosing a life in music! I enjoyed getting to see how much fulfillment she receives in experiencing growth as a musician and producer!

We talked about her transition into pursuing music as a career, the power of obsession to achieve a dream, the challenges of over coming stigma within the craft of music and so much more!

I admire and respect the joy she gets from creating music and I hope you enjoy our conversation and be sure to check out JUL!ET on Spotify/Instagram and come see us perform at Neumos in January!

Liv and I have known each other for a couple years now! We both had similar starts in Seattle through the U-district underground scene while we were students at UW! Liv is a very talented singer song writer and performs professionally across Seattle.

From the beginning I recognized the work ethic, passion and drive Liv has for pursuing a career in music. We enjoyed chatting about our early days at UW, house shows, what we are currently enjoying as fans of Seattle's local scene and so much more!

Hope you enjoy episode two of The Emerald Gem!

I got to sit down and hang with Marshall Hugh of Marshall Law Band on the hottest day of the year back in August just one day before Balcony Bridge embarked on our first West Coast tour! I have so much respect for the work Marshall does to connect people through the power of music!

The vibes were high and we had a blast talking about what we think Seattle needs to restore its status as a music city that commands respect across the globe. We chatted about touring, making music, our dreams, the drive and what it takes to be a musician pursuing a career.

Plenty of laughs, insight and good times in this inaugural episode of The Emerald Gem!
